The 16-year-old Maleficent actress might have grown up in the spotlight, but as editor in chief Amy Astley learns, she couldn't be more down to earth.

It's not every day a magazine's editor in chief conducts a cover story interview herself. In fact, it's quite rare. But when 16-year-old Maleficent star Elle Fanning was chosen to grace our June/July 2014 cover (her second for Teen Vogue—she was just 13 the first time around!), self-proclaimed "superfan" Amy Astley wouldn't have it any other way.

In Paris for fashion week, the pair sat down for tea between shows. Here, a sneak peek of their chat:

Elle on dressing for herself versus dressing for boys: "Well, I want a boy to like my weird style. If he doesn't, then he's not the right person for me. Because if you start dressing one way and it's not truly you, then you have to stick to it. Otherwise, you wear your weird thing and then he's like, "What's that?" and you're like, "Well, I like it!" And then you are in an uncomfortable situation."

On her makeup style: "I just feel like it's better, looking fresh. It's also sexier not wearing any makeup at all. Like, honestly, if you talk to guys, they'll all think that."

On working with Maleficent co-star Angelina Jolie: "When I met her, she gave me a huge hug and she took my shoulders and said, "We are going to have the best time working together!" And we did—we had the best time! She has a huge presence. She would walk around set all the time with her giant Maleficent staff because she said she had to get used to it—she said it had to become a part of her, since Maleficent and the staff are so connected. Everyone would just stare at her! With the cheekbones, the staff just made her more like..."Oh my god!"

The items she can't live without: "My Barbie calendar in my room. I put all the details of my day on it. And...it's so weird, but I save gum wrappers. Like, I have thousands of Double Bubble and Bazooka. I put them all in a Chanel shoe box."
